    Can it happen to us?

    I would gladly trade in my electronic stability control (ESC) system for a gas pedal that works. Oh wait, my 2008 does not have stability control. I guess they will have to add an electronic velocity control system. (EVC?) I can't wait, how much for that option?

    Bluetooth does not connect every time

    dead pedal over carpeting?

    I purchased it some time ago at the local automotive shop (peepboys I think), but they long since discontinued it. Googl Rubber Safety Step Tread Strip and there are some online retailers you can order it from.

    Official 2011 Mazda5 Thread

    I vote for a MAZDASPEED5 Mazdaspeed5 MAZDASPEED5 MS5 - DUMP the Mazdaspeed3 in exchange for a MAZDASPEED5. I want one please! The engine bay is big enough to add a turbo / intercooler, I wonder if GReddy will make an aftermarket kit? That would be perfect! I will be the first to volunteer my...
